J/122 PEN AZEN Winner Against "Best of IRC" in Europe(Benodet, France- May 2-3)- The Obelix Trophy is one of the most prestigious events on the French offshore racing circuit each spring. Repeating a performance of previous J/122s, Philippe Delaporte's PEN AZEN continued her winning ways taking a highly competitive IRC1 Class. The J/122 beat the latest IRC-influenced offerings from several builders, including the new Beneteau 41, Archambault 40RC and others. It's clear the J/122 continues to be the "boat to beat" in international and regional IRC competition.
